A data predistortion technique with memory for QAM radio systems

The authors present an efficient data predistortion technique with memory for compensation of high-power amplifier (HPA) nonlinearities in digital microwave radio systems employing quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal formats. A practical implementation method is described which trades off performance against complexity and which makes it possible to implement this kind of predistorter in 256-QAM, and higher-level QAM systems. Using the 16-, 64-, and 256-QAM signal constellations, it is shown that the proposed technique achieves a considerably higher performance than that of conventional memoryless data predistortion of the predistortion technique with memory based on finite-order inverses of nonlinear systems. Specifically, numerical results show that the proposed technique achieves a gain that is in excess of 2 dB over conventional memoryless data predistortion     

Bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding using constellation shaping over Rayleigh fading channels

We propose to investigate the performance of bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) over Rayleigh fading channel by using constellation shaping (CS). The (CS) is implemented by inserting shaping block codes between mapping and channel coding functions, in order to generate non-equiprobable distribution of a 16-ary QAM signal constellation. Simulation results carried out on 2-bit/s/Hz 16-QAM BICM-ID indicate that is possible to obtain a gain of 1.2 dB at a BER of 10^-3 compared to the equiprobable 16-QAM BICM-ID schemes. It is also shown that, the error floor level can reduced by applying the signal space diversity technique.     

Codage pour modulation d’amplitude en quadrature à grand nombre d’états avec partition à plusieurs niveaux

We present a new multilevel coding technique for the quadrature amplitude modulation with a high number of states (64-QAM and 256-QAM). The constellation is partitioned into four subsets, two bits coded with the samebch code selecting the label of each subset. We show that our system, with a double error correctingbch code, gives better results, considering redundancy, decoding simplicity and performance, than the systems known bx now (using the Reed-Solomon code (64,62), the Lee-Nakamura and Hamming codes). Preliminary differential encoding of the two coded bits and utilisation of a transparentbch code can solve the phase ambiguity problem in a simple way.     

Blind carrier phase tracking with guaranteed global convergence

Conventional blind carrier recovery algorithms have been observed to show unstable behaviors for large constellation modulation schemes such as 64-QAM or 256-QAM. We propose a new carrier tracking approach that has guaranteed global convergence. First, we show that the carrier tracking problem is equivalent to a blind source separation problem, which involves the separation of a linear unitary mixture of two independent components that are the real and imaginary parts of the emitted signal. Then, by using a blind source separation procedure, we derive a new and robust carrier tracking algorithm with guaranteed global convergence. Some numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method     

A <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Radon Based OFDM Trasceivers Design and Performance Simulation Over Different Channel Models

In this paper a new method is proposed to perform the N-Radon orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), which are equivalent to 4-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM, ... etc. in spectral efficiency. This non conventional method is proposed in order to reduce the constellation energy and increase spectral efficiency. The proposed method gives a significant improvement in Bit Error Rate performance, and keeps bandwidth efficiency and spectrum shape as good as conventional Fast Fourier Transform based OFDM. The new structure was tested and compared with conventional OFDM for Additive White Gaussian Noise, flat, and multi-path selective fading channels. Simulation tests were generated for different channels parameters values including multi-path gains vector, multi-path delay time vector, and maximum Doppler shift.     

Variable symbol-rate demodulators for cable and satellite TVbroadcasting

We present the design and the basic features of variable symbol-rate demodulators for digital TV broadcasting by cable and satellite. The demodulators are fully compliant with the DVB recommendations which were later published as ETSI standards. The satellite demodulator employs the QPSK signal constellation and can handle symbol rates up to 30 Mbaud. The cable demodulator is configurable to operate with all QAM signal formats from 16-QAM to 256-QAM, and handles symbol rates up to 7 Mbaud which is the maximum possible symbol rate in an 8 MHz channel. Both demodulators employ polyphase filtering for variable symbol rate operation and fully-digital carrier recovery loops with an extended frequency acquisition range. In addition, the cable demodulator includes a blind equalizer with smooth transition to a conventional adaptation algorithm after convergence     

Data predistortion techniques using intersymbol interpolation

Two data predistortion techniques are presented that compensate for high-power amplifier (HPA) nonlinearities in digital microwave radio systems by employing quadrature amplitude-modulation (QAM) signal formats. The first one is a T/2-spaced predistortion technique that ensures distortion-free HPA output at two points per symbol interval T. The second is a T/3-spaced predistortion technique which cancels nonlinear distortion at the HPA output at three points per symbol interval. As opposed to conventional data predistortion, which can only compensate for warping of the signal constellation, the new techniques are effective against intersymbol interference. Using the 64- and 256-QAM signal constellations, it is shown that the proposed techniques lead to a very efficient utilization of the available HPA power. It is shown that, of the two techniques, the T/3-spaced data predistortion employs narrower transmit-pulse shaping and achieves higher protection against adjacent-channel interference at the expense of some additional complexity     

Effect of HPA non-linearities on crosstalk and performance ofdigital radio systems

The performance of 64-QAM and 256-QAM systems amplified by nonlinear power amplifiers (HPAs) is investigated. Two types of HPAs are considered in the analysis. The quadrature crosstalk between the I and Q channels due to AM/AM and AM/PM conversion of the nonlinearities of the HPAs is studied by computer simulation and experimentally. The results reveal that the quadrature crosstalk is mainly caused by AM/PM conversion and that crosstalk is reduced when the output power backoff (OBO) is increased. However, for some HPAs, the crosstalk has the minimum in a certain range of OBO. The power spectra of intermodulation products caused by the nonlinearities of HPAs are shown. In addition, the probability of error performance, P(e), is computed for two types of HPAs and different OBO. A comparison of eye and constellation diagrams for TWTA operating at the different OBO is also given
